Offshore wind is on the path to 30 GW by 2030 in the US alone. See Orrick's latest report covering recent trends and exploring opportunities in 25+ countries.

Discover recent trends and future challenges and opportunities in global offshore wind.

"🌬️ Record-breaking year for offshore wind! WindEurope reports nearly 9 GW of #offshorewind projects reached final investment decisions (#FID), totaling EUR 30 billion in 2023. Looking ahead, the #windenergy sector is set to create over 500,000 jobs by 2030. Europe's push for a greener future is on track with 272 GW of wind capacity already installed. Let's harness the wind for a sustainable tomorrow! 💼🍃 #WindEnergy #SustainableFuture #OffshoreWind" https://lnkd.in/dBDtq_4r

🌊 Ahead of the Floating Offshore Wind Exhibition in Aberdeen next week, our Engineering and Projects Director, Fraser Milne, discusses the UK’s goal of 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, including 5 GW from floating wind. However, with current delays in approvals and infrastructure, meeting this target requires immediate action. This commentary explores the challenges and potential solutions to scaling the UK's floating offshore wind sector. 📝 Read in full here: https://lnkd.in/dVCsm-ty #FloatingOffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture RenewableUK Scottish Renewables

Almost a week on from #onshorewind24 hosted by RenewableUK and Scottish Renewables and still sensing the sense of optimism and hope for onshore wind in the UK. However, although Labour have lifted the de facto ban on onshore wind in England, several challenges are still present for hitting targets of doubling onshore wind development in the UK by 2030. Some key themes were repeatedly present during the conference, which included: - The time constraints on successfully restarting the pipeline of of onshore wind farms in England - In the wise words of Jon O'Sullivan - grid, grid grid - The need for a streamlined permitting process - The increasing pressure supply chain and work force demands will force onto projects - How to successfully communicate with local communities regarding the benefits onshore wind can bring

Can the UK scale floating offshore wind to 5 GW by 2030? An interesting read from Fraser Milne, Engineering and Projects Director at Balmoral Comtec, a division of Balmoral Group. Fraser explores the need for faster project approvals, tailored standards, and the importance of harnessing expertise from the oil and gas industry to accelerate progress.

Ancala Partner Tim Power shared his thoughts with Infrastructure Investor about the role ports have to play in enabling the energy transition.   We invested in Norway’s largest supply base, Fjord Base Gruppen, last year and are actively working with the business to explore multiple avenues to develop renewable energy and establish the base as a leader within offshore wind.

Onshore wind is back on the agenda in England.   With the lifting of the de facto ban on onshore wind development in England, and the pledges of the DESNZ to double onshore wind capacity by 2030, onshore wind development is firmly back on the agenda.   The UK government has taken a significant step by removing the long-standing restrictions that put a stop to further onshore wind exploration in England. This change brings onshore wind developments in line with other renewable energy initiatives, simplifying the planning process and removing previous barriers to entry.   At Renewables Connect, we are excited about the opportunities this policy shift brings. The search for suitable land for wind developments is now in full swing, and our platform is here to help connect all stakeholders in the renewable energy sector.   #RenewableEnergy #RenewablesConnect #Onshorewind #DESNZ
